Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very likely
Dr M.Fuentes has always been there for me.She takes the time to explain to me and always see me even when I don’t have an appointment. Dr .Fuentes and her staff are the best!!!

The best general practitioner in the Rio Grande Valley. My husband and I have been seeing her and her staff for two years and have been so impressed by her care and concern for patients. She also utilizes a patient portal system which makes contacting her and her P.A.s very easy.

I am beyond pleased with Dr. Fuentes. She takes the time to listen and explain any questions I have very thoroughly. She has excellent bedside manner, carries herself gracefully, and is very professional. Dr. Fuentes responds to questions quickly via the patient portal. Requesting refills is a breeze. The after hours clinic is very convenient. I highly recommend Dr. Fuentes.

I recommend Dr. Fuentes and her office because of the attention and genuine care they show for each patient. I went in with an appointment and was only sitting in the waiting area for about 3 min before I was called in. Never was I left waiting to be seen (like other offices do leaving you waiting for about 20-30 min in rooms) they were with me every second. The doctor is amazing! I have a feeling she will be my family doc for years. She is worth the drive, trust me.

Dr. Fuentes and her staff are excellent. She listened to my concerns and also listened to me as I explained how my body responds to different hormones so to speak, a doctor who will listen to you is almost impossible to find. She also helped my wife, she was plagued with allergy related issues that was tied to another issue. She explained blood test results and posted them to our portal ( which is awesome by the way ) giving us a chance to see our results. Never had a doctor do that, EVER.

I never have any complaints. I have been seeing her for about 8-9 years now. Now my husband goes, my in-laws, my mother and friends.

The special and swift care in which Dr. Fuentes insisted on performing her medical expertise on me, Eudelia Garcia, was absolutely admired and appreciated! Her actions to setting appointments with the right specialists concerning my condition was top priority and top notch! Dr. Fuentes made time in getting me seen immediately and because of that, I'm in the best health condition. I cannot thank Dr. Fuentes enough! You're the best Dr. I have EVER had! God Bless you and your staff.??????????
